David Yen, EVP of Storage, addressed importance of storage, he shows 37% data of world's is on Sun, what a huge number, we can see how much opportunity for us, then he explain Sun's strategy for Data: ID everything, Visualizer everything, Secure everything and Integrate everything.

Second general session is given by Rich Green, our software EVP, still he strongly expressed his idea: MAKE $. Audiences offer some quite good questions, I only remember some.
Q: When is acrobat available on X64?
A: Not know.
Q: When is Aduva available?
A: December
Q: Solaris is hard to download and most of them are not necessary.
A: Jeff Jackson's team is dealing with this issue.

Next session is most exiting one, you know what, it is employee #1, Andy give his great presentation about New x64 product including GalaxyII, Storage, Blade Servers, Cluster in HPC, also he gave lots data to show Sun leadership on this area( which is forbidden posted on blog). I can not express how I am encouraged by him. He speaks so fast that a audience ask what's his clock rate. I'm thinking Andy will definitely bring Sun another spring.

On the afternoon, again I attended five breakout sessions, I was so tired and felt exhausting at last.

Session 1
Title : The Virtualized Desktop and Application Delivery Interface
Speakers: Brad Lackey Desktop Product Lead US-Software Practice
Jeff Reilly Desktop Solution Architect US-Software Practice
The key terms are desktop and virtualization, in this presentation, Solaris JDS, Linux and Windows 2003 server can be virtulized, Sunray is just one important part of whole system. User can access through thin client(sunray client), also can access through traditional client, laptop, mobile phone. They gave lots of impressive demos, including switch virtual sessions among lots, use KIOS2 terminal-Touch Screen Enabled, credit card access. It is very useful on Education, Hospital, Supermarket, etc. But I do not know whether we can beat IBM in this field.

Session 2
Title : Knowledge-based Enterprise Patch Management using Update Connection Enterprise (Aduva)
Speakers: Juergen Fleischer
Robert Lusk
There are lots of people are interested on this topic, I only can stand beside the wall, we can see how dissatisfaction on Solaris update. Aduva seems written on Java, can do lots of things expect Solaris updating, can also supports porting from HP-UX to Solaris, Linux to Solaris. I though it is what I saw yesterday. Demo time is attractive, it is supposed to be ready on December, let's try how it resolve our problem.

Session 3
Title : Benchmarking Performance Methodology using Dtrace and Dprofile Speakers: Benoit Chaffanjon
It is tired and felt asleep during this session, no comments. :(

Session 4
Title : Enhancing Security Awareness and Control with Dtrace
Speakers: Glenn Brunette
Jonathan Haslem
This session is my second Dtrace session, do not want miss again. Washed my face during the rest time. Glenn is a security guy, also is SEED mentor of Alfred. He is trying to express how Dtrace can help enhance system security, he gave some examples and demons along with some useful D-scripts. I gave Glenn Alfred's present, he is so happy and may visit China 6-12 months later for Olympic Games.

Session 5
Title : Overview of JavaCAPS
Speakers: Kevin sohmidt
Bruce Tierney
JavaCAPS is implement of SOA, facing to Enterprise, Again, so tired, not get much information. If have time, I'll go to see their demos tomorrow.

Next is party time, wo~~~~~oh. It's my first time to join western style party. I took lots of photos, everything is new for me, the game machines, the , the music DJ, the professional gamble game, just like Las Vegas. I'll never forget tonight and will tell this stories to my Chinese friends. It was said Sun have not held this kind of Party for almost 5 years, everyone is it is so great and give us a big information is Sun is getting better, the spring comes.
